An Alabama state representative is expected to introduce a bill on Tuesday that would ban abortion within two weeks of conception, except in cases where the mothers life is at risk.

The legislation is designed to spark a court challenge to Roe v. Wade , the 1973 Supreme Court decision that made abortion legal nationwide. In a press release, Republican state Rep. Terri Collins said the bill would provide a vehicle to revisit the constitutionally-flawed court decision.

Anti-abortion legislators are no longer hiding their intent in introducing extremely restrictive abortion laws. They say they want to ignite a legal fight to land a new case in front of the Supreme Court. With the addition of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, they believe the court is now more likely to be sympathetic to their cause.

So far this year, state lawmakers have introduced more than 250 bills to restrict abortion access, according to a new report by the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and Guttmacher Institute. There has been a dramatic rise in the number of so-called heartbeat bills, which ban abortion once a fetal heartbeat is detected , something that can happen as early as six weeks long before many women know they are pregnant.
